That is quite a long way to say "die crack", but I'm attempting to be as specific as possible.

It has what looks very much like a lamination, but where there would normally be a torn or peeled look at the edges, there is an outline of raised metal / die cracks. The cracks continue in either direction to the rim, and the upper-right hand side of the obverse is at a slightly higher elevation than the lower-left.

Please let me know if you think I've gotten it wrong!

It's hard not to think that the die must have disintegrated completely, shortly after this strike.

Agreed!

Such a small die too, it's only a 15mm / 1g coin.
